Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Insider's Guide to the Other Side, a production
of My Heart Radio. Hi y'all, I'm Julie. Hi there,
I'm Brenda. Welcome to Insider's Guide to the Other Side.
Now you all need to know that we are obsessed
with everything on the other side. Yes we are, because
(00:21):
once you learn to navigate the energetic, or to some
the invisible world, life is going to be more fun
and much more serene. Heck, yes it can, because, let's
be honest, brand Earth school is hard. In fact, you
taught me that let's crush Earth School together. Well, hello,
(00:44):
my Witchy of Pooh. You have lots of flowers behind
you because it was your day of birth that we
all celebrated. It's my solar return. Thank you, indeed, thank you,
my dear alf. Did you have a cake? No? No cake?
(01:04):
What is wrong with you? The only reason to have
a birthday's cake? I mean, that's the only reason to
suffer through another year, is you get cake or pie,
whatever you choose. I guess I sailed, so we'll have to.
We'll have to accommodate that requirement. This week. I will
make an adjustment. You should, you should, I'm sure I
(01:27):
had something Sally like what salary macaroons? Sally say, macaroons.
Oh so you do the macaroona bullet puns today? Yes, yes, indeed,
So what do you have you keeping me in suspense?
(01:47):
Oh about this? About this episode? This is this is
clearly an ELFs it is. It is following your lead
as always. Yeah, no, we're calling it the laundry which
and not the laundry maiden, because that's actually Suzanne calls
yourself the laundry maiden. She doesn't allow me to do
(02:08):
laundry or ever send it out to do laundry because
she does it her specific way and oh very much so.
And our laundry, by the way, is like divine and
so it's not the laundry made. It's the laundry which
which we're gonna which which is the sandwich place. Um
that they did not pass for that. But we will
(02:29):
get to the laundry which here in a minute. But
I kind of want to tell everybody what's happening. Like
we're in Santa Fe now, it's very exciting. We're in
a rental house, yes we are, this is yeah, yeah,
we actually rented a place catty corner from where the
house is that we bought our fixer upper across the street.
(02:54):
Oh yeah, we do, brilliant. I go over there all
the time. I do. Yeah. It's well, they're gutting, they're
gutting demolition there. Yeah. And if anybody watches my Instagram,
I've been posting pictures of the gemstone slabs that we
will be integrating into our home that we are claiming
has like a theme of kind of spirituality New Mexico
(03:17):
to it. It's gonna be amazing. Is that redundant? Maybe
with something? Um? So we are in the midst of
doing all of that. It's been chaos, um, but it's
been great, but chaotically great. It's a move that part sucked,
asked um. But it's you know, you just have to
(03:40):
deal with things. Our movers damaged a lot of our
most of our art. Actually, it's so sad, right, not okay,
It's like the universe is working against us when it
came to art. So we're taking it as a message
to replenish. You live in Santa Fe, now, I mean,
there's not a better place on the I to replace
(04:00):
art exactly exactly. We got okay with it after I
had a meltdown when they were taking stuff off the truck.
It was really not pretty. I'm not a crier and
I don't shake. I'm not even much of a yeller.
Nor do I kick plastic buckets. I did all four.
I was thinking inside out. Yeah that's okay. It was
(04:26):
as long as you didn't like kick plastic buckets at someone.
No no, no no no no no no. Yeah. I
gotta process emotion like it's and it was shaking. I
don't shake. I was so angry. I was shaking. It
was my ancient Tibetan drum that they so poorly handled
and broke. Actually, so you know, dealing like interesting. We
(04:48):
could have a whole conversation about this, but this is
the laundry Which episode. But it is really about you know, um,
accepting what happened and grieving and because something things aren't
just thin, you know. People like to say that, but
they're not. They hold energy like this Tibetan drum, like
what it held is spectacular and um an artist, like
(05:09):
an original painting that they absolutely destroyed, held the energy
of this like brilliant artist and the piece was called
the Light within Um. And so it's just things like
that that are kind of devastating, but can't do anything
about it. Now learned from I guess experiences by never
hiring these ship holes again. But um, so that happened, yes,
(05:31):
and it's it's part of moving. You're releasing a lot
and you grieving and we done a couple episodes on that,
and it's just one more layer. Um it's very personal
and very deep. And yeah, well, at least they didn't
break my mom's raspberry jam frozen raspberry jam. I went
ahead and took care of that myself. Somebody on Instagram
(05:52):
asked me if I ate it, and I'm like, nope,
sure didn't because I think it like thought then ref
it's I don't think it was edible, but I do
appreciate somebody asking me the question. Yeah, really sweet. And
then I got I know, are they are awesome? And
then I got news this morning that um one of
(06:14):
one of my favorite people on the planet who taught
foreign language at my high school. Really it was Spanish.
I think she taught French, but you know, it's Oklahoma.
I didn't think they knew what French was, so and
I didn't, so I'm not blaming in other people. But anyway,
Cabo is her nickname. Cabomanum is really sick with She
(06:36):
contracted bacterial meningitis on a cruise and she is in
the hospital in Maine, and so I've been doing just
a lot of love work on her. She is a
deacon at the church where I grew up, at the
Piscopal Church. She's a very much a woman of faith.
But you know, there's a lot of us are talking
today and trying to hold space for Cabo for whatever
(06:58):
her journey turns into, be right, And it's nice that
she has the support of the group, but that you
have each other to support each other in this because
it's it's stressful, right, It's that's a very stressful thing
to be so far away from someone you care about
when they're hurting. Yeah, it is. And you know it's interesting.
(07:19):
Will I promise we'll get to the laundry, which soon,
But I just wanted to share because this truly just
happened like a couple of hours ago. Um. It's funny
because I was thinking kind of reflecting because I've I've
seen her a lot in the last few years because
it wasn't far from where we lived in Arkansas, and
and last time I saw her was a few months ago,
(07:40):
and I took the opportunity to pull her aside. And
I don't know what drove me. Maybe I do no,
but something drove me and inspired me to be really
open and honest and vulnerable and thank her for how
she was with all of us and how caring and
(08:01):
how giving she was, and um and and and I
said way more and more I think poetic than what
I just did. And it's a very vulnerable place to
say that to another adult, right, Like, we just don't
typically do that kind of stuff. And I was just
so moved to do it, and I'm so glad I did.
So I just shout out to if anybody has that,
(08:22):
you know, that that drive to tell somebody how they
really feel and how grateful that they are for them
and give them the details on why. I encourage you
to do it, because you never know what life is
going to throw your really, you really don't. And if
you don't have the drive, you know, like that instant
instinct that hit to do it, but you feel it,
(08:47):
then push yourself to express it. And it doesn't have
to be verbal because sometimes in person like that's just
too intense or too hard, but it can be in writing.
You can send them a voice memo, you know, something
like that, like let be creative and spacious with how
you you know, push yourself to express the feeling. But
you will never regret it. No, I never have, and
(09:10):
I have actually, and I know I've told the story
of Dr Cindy Ray when she sat me down because
she was so compelled to tell me on and I
mean this was like twenty plus years after it had
twenty five years or whatever long it was after the
moment had happened to tell me, like when our friends
(09:31):
Christie had died in a car accident in high school.
And I just sat there and held her hand and
held space for her to know that's what I was doing.
And um, she said, because of that experience, she was
a better doctor and she needed me to know that, right,
And so I have. I take every opportunity I can
to tell people how important that they really are, because
you never know if you'll ever have that chance. And
(09:55):
he's never wasted. It's never ever wasted, even if you
have twenty more times, right, even if you still not wasted,
never wasted every Yeah. So so anyway, that's a very
long lead in to the laundry, which not laundry Maiden.
She would take a little break and come back and
(10:17):
actually talk about the topic we set out to do today.
We're just something new and different. Yeah, let's do that.
We'll be right back and welcome back to my ELF episode.
(10:37):
I don't know what I'm welcoming you back to. It
wasn't the funny thing. It's not even really mine either,
because um, I will actually give everybody a little bit
of background. Um, this story came from um a friend
of mine, Mel, And actually, if those that listened to
her the reading you did for Mel, you've actually all
met Mel as well. And mel Is I said her
(10:58):
name like ten times and like any seconds. That was weird.
It's so short, it's easy to say it's a Melanie,
but Melo is so fast. But um, Mel actually married
a very good friend of mine who I played golf
with at ou we're on the golf team together, and
so I got to know Mel through Audre. And Mel
has like a whole lot of like She's just so
(11:23):
capable spiritually, like and she really is working hard to
tap into those even even stronger and so she you know,
she and I talked. I don't let's call it once
twice a week and we'll share like psychic stories with
each other events that have happened. She called me the
other day about a very dear friend of hers in Springfield.
(11:43):
You know, there's a lot of Springfield, so I can
stay Springfield. You guys ever watched the Simpsons, You know
how many Springfields there are in the United States. But
I always bring it back to Hollywood are night and
so so Mel called and was telling me about one
of her her friends in in the local music industry
there um that had just passed on. They just jumped,
and she was on her way to the funeral, and
(12:05):
she goes, can you get do you have anything? Can
you tell me anything? Because you know how hard it
is when it's your own life right to actually see
and she's grieving and all those things. So she reached
out right, So like, kudos for that. And funny enough,
was walking suky because that's what I do every morning,
and I'm walking by the Episcopal Church. Didn't I just
(12:28):
bring up the Episcopal Church because I say Cabo was
a deac of the Piscopal Church. I was walking past
the Episcopal Church when she called me and said, I
just lost my friend, so on and so forth. Do
you have anything, can you help me? Kind of thing?
And so I did a couple like close my eyes
for a second. I mean, I stopped walking for the record.
I didn't want to run into anything, and so I
(12:50):
closed my eyes and I said, so his name is Sam,
and I described what I thought he looked like. She
was that's him, That's exactly him. And I was like, okay, girl, um,
I said, all I'm getting from him right now is
because he was newly like jumped right like. This isn't
like newly had had happened, right, And so I said,
(13:13):
I described what he looked like, and I said, so
this is what I was getting from him. Is at
the service she was going to, or someone actually with
jet black hair was going to approach her and needed
her comfort. I said, I don't know who this is.
It looks like a woman. I have no idea. I say, girl, like,
I'm walking my dog and this is the best a
(13:35):
girl can do walking her dog. And so she's like, okay, great,
thank you, so on and so forth, and she makes
her way to the service. Later that day she calls
and she goes, do you want to know who the
jet black headed woman was and I'm like sure, and
so she shares it with me, and it's exactly what
he showed me. It was there was this woman that
(13:59):
needed comfort and needed it actually from Mel, because you know,
she's a very loving, very like um uh touch you know,
love language touch kind of person and affectionate, right, and
when we struggle a lot of times we need that
um And so she was, you know, she was all
there for it. So these are the kind of conversations
(14:19):
that Mel and I have on an ongoing basis. So
she called me yesterday and told me about a friend
of hers that moved to a small town outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
And she had said to Mel, she goes, I am
really afraid to go downstairs in the basement. That's where
the laundry facilities are. So here we goes to the
(14:41):
laundry a wind up. That's a wind up, that is right.
And so she's like, I'm in this place, I'm afraid
to go down there. I'm afraid there's something there. I
don't know what it is, but I don't want to
go do my laundry and I have no clean clothes.
Of course, I would have said, take your ship out
and have a laundry. Um So it was awesome. Though
(15:05):
there are many ways around this, but go ahead anyways,
Like if I were on my own, I probably would
never do laundry because I suck at it, um, not
because I think there's a laundry witch. Um So. So
Mel like does her like tap in thing, and her
friend also has some abilities, and her friend was like,
I feel like it's a witch and I'm just scared
(15:27):
to go down there and I don't know what it
is and who it is. And they do this whole
thing where like Mel looks up who owned the house
or who built the house, so she gets the name.
She's doing research, she's like trying to figure stuff out,
and then she says to her she goes, I think
that whether it's a witch or not a witch, I
(15:48):
just think this person wants you to give them, like
acknowledge them. And at that moment, the dryer went on.
They continue to talk about on it, and then every
time they refer to her, the dryer goes on. It
happened four different times. That's so awesome. Isn't that great? Right?
(16:13):
Because it's electronic and and it's it's spirit right, so
it can manipulate electronics very easily. That's so, isn't that awesome?
The laundry which and so I'm not sure if she
went down there and they were like, don't have a
conclusionive she actually did her laundry. I don't think that's
the point of the story. But I'm just letting those
that want to know that it's dangling out there for
(16:34):
me too. So we'll eventually figure it out and give
a report if the laundry which really was and didn't
let her do laundry. But isn't that fun? That's so fun.
That's so fun. And like, look, if she's turning or
he or she is turning off and on the dryer, right,
they want to play. They want to play now, as
(16:54):
long as you know it's not a dark force and
you know everything else you have going on. But we'd
love to hear from our audience like stories where y'all
had lights at flash or every time I did this,
you know something happened, because those are always really they're affirming,
they're playful. Usually okay after the I don't freaks you
out a couple of times in the beginning, but then
you get all right, But then you get used to it,
(17:17):
and it's kind of it's kind of a fun way
to play. And if you guys said the story and
I get it, I will embellish it for you're nice.
I will make it far more dramatic than it probably
really was, because that's called good storytelling. But when it
comes to you to the other side, I actually don't
need to embellish tell you the dream because it's so fun.
(17:38):
They do it on their own. Yeah, you know, like, uh,
I remember when um, and I called you because I
called you about everything, but it was when it's because
the stories in my book, but it was when the
pendulum was my pendulum was moving on its own in
our bathroom. And to freak Suzanne out right, it can
(17:58):
be scary and I'm a bad ask and I was
like yeah, and then I like went right into like
you know, the evil Ghosts, ghost Layer Julie. But um,
it was scary. It can be scary as hell, especially
when you're not expecting it. Yeah, right anymore, not so much.
(18:19):
In fact of a couple more little stories when we
come right back. Look at that I called a break,
and we're back for our next installment by Elie Embellished right, this.
(18:40):
This is an embellished This has nothing to do with
laundry or witches. But I just want to be there.
I know, right, this is a super practical story. So
Susanne and I have a landlord now or time, and
it's actually a landlady, so it's a land lords land goddess.
(19:04):
She's a land goddess um and we adore her. And
so when we were packing up to to move out,
and uh, I packed a clearing bowl for her, thank
you for letting us live here, which I know that
sounds strange, but it's not strange if you know how
hard it is to rent a place in a city
like Santa Fe, especially catty corner from the house you bought.
(19:25):
So I, you know, packed up this clearing bowl to
give her as a gift. And then I had some
of my own personal pieces of black turmaline. So it
was crazy. This was just again the other day. So
she comes over, it's raining out, it's kind of late,
it's cold, and I said, oh wait, can you hold
on a second. We have your gift. We finally finally
(19:47):
found it. And so she gets it and unpacks it
in the rain, you know, like all excited, like what
is this, And we talked about it in the rain,
and the next day I see her and she's like, Julie,
I'm like hey, and I literally and she said, she goes,
(20:07):
I cannot thank you enough for that thoughtful gift. I said, oh,
I'm so glad you like it. She was, no, no, no,
I don't just like it. She goes that black termline
and she kind of like paused, like black term like
she was trying to say it right. I mean, I said,
the black termline. She was, yeah, what is that stuff?
(20:28):
And she said, um, she was when you gave that
to me. I had just had this experience where my
hand was shaking, but it wasn't shaking, meaning she felt right,
how do you describe that ring, because I'm sure you
felt that before. Oh gosh, yeah, it's like an energetic
You enter the field and it's again it's back to
the electrical aspect. It's the energetic aspect of something. So
(20:52):
it's there's a buzziness that happens even though your hand
isn't visibly shaking. Everything in a nervous system is ignited.
So she has that, and she's also the one that
cannot ride in electric vehicles because you're sitting on a battery. Yeah.
And she gets out and she goes, I don't drink coffee,
but I feel like I've had six cups of coffee
(21:16):
when I get out. And so she said to me,
she said, I was just She goes, my hand was
doing this weird kind of buzzing thing. She goes, and I, hell,
I grabbed a piece of that black termaline. She goes,
and it stopped. She goes, it stopped. She goes, What
in the world is this? And I'm like, girl, I
(21:36):
wish I could explain. All I can tell you is
that it comes from you know, the foothills of the
Himalayans outside of you know, Catman do and nepoul I go,
I got nutingails for you. Other than it's magic, it does.
I mean, I don't know how else to explain it.
It's like, but it's it's for highly sensitive people because
(21:57):
you know, I started working with black termaline because of
sleep paralysis. Um and it has just which is having
one of its many superpowers rights exactly. It's there's not
one person that still struggles with it when they put
(22:17):
it on their bedside table or underneath their bed wherever
they choose to put it not one I've heard, but
I've heard from now. If you it doesn't work for you,
like give me a holler. But so far I think
it's bad. It's not me. It is batting a thousand.
But I keep finding these other uses. Now. I keep
find like if you're over stimulated, that it will. I
think it must absorb. It's ground. It's very grounding, it's
(22:39):
very but I think it absorbs that, right, and that
it's so it transmuts it. Maybe it's transat trans meats,
so it's um. It's like if you if you do
twists in yoga, if you're cold, they will heat you up.
If you're hot, they will cool you down. So that's
what it's like. Yeah, really yeah, So it's like that,
(23:02):
like if it's if you if you have too much,
it will um, it'll calm you down. If you if
you're like heavy and burdened, it will ground you so
that you can access your own energy again and bring
you back online. Does that make sense? It makes the
total sense. And you say it's so much better than
(23:22):
I do. It's all good, it's all good. Every time
I explained something, I threw a ship damn or fucking
there is always always more than mine. But the truth
is just use it, like just grab it and use
it when you don't know what to grab, grab that
and and let it. Let it work with you, like
find your own experience in your own ways. But this,
(23:42):
this is such a workhorse. Is such a workhorse, totally workhorse. Yeah. Yeah,
and she's like, this is changing my life. She's I'm
so calm. I don't have that irritation. I think it's
also when she holds the cell phone is another thing.
I think she's like the battery. I don't know, there's
something about that charge like really gets her going. Yeah,
(24:03):
then she should always carry black Tonelin right, should Yeah,
because she has plenty now yeah, no doubt from from
her rentee. Nice. So this had little to do with
the kitchen which I'm not kitchen, which laundry which I
want to now, oh my god, now we're gonna have
a kitchen which show up? But is this is a
(24:25):
little bit of sharing and caring today. But I thought
the laundry which story is really wild, just because the
dryer would go on every time, right, It's I love
that those stories are just magic. And then I just
thought sharing a little bit more about black Tomaline be
good too. Always always black Tonnel always and you know,
it's no different than you know, like the travel ghost
shows that they have in the Travel Channel where they
(24:47):
sit in the dark room and they're like you are
you here and they wait for their lights to flash
and things like that, Like you don't need all that.
You don't have to stay up in the middle of
the night to do it. You can just do it
in daylight. Hey are you the lawn? Which that is
so hilarious that you said that, because I was meeting
with our architect over at our new house and his
name is chev and Um and I love this guy.
(25:10):
He's great. And he was like, you know, do you
feel any ghost here? Do you know, do you need sage?
I went, no, Darling, I don't need sage. I'm like,
that is to make you feel better, not me. He
starts cracking up and he's like, well, what do you do?
Is there with this whole long conversation about you can
(25:31):
do You can take care of your business seven and
you don't have to have all the couturement stage is great,
don't get me wrong, and they serves the purpose absolutely,
but you don't have to have it. Like if somebody
is dealing with something, they don't have to wait to
get sage. I actually had a conversation this week with
someone who was saying blah blah bow something I had
read for a while ago. I was asking about how
(25:53):
she was asking my friend about clearing and saging in
what she has going on. I'm like, with what she
the activity she has going on, and it's only in
one room, of it's only in her bedroom, and she
just needs black tarnaline just you know, put put in
the four corners of the room. Done. Like, I mean,
she can say there's no problems with that, but she
just needs the room to be grounded, so she needs
(26:14):
to black ternlines boom done, exactly right. That's what we
did to that house in Sherman Oaks where I went
and gritted that whole thing. And when Susanne and I
disconnected our cords from that place, that sold in twelve hours. Yeah,
I mean, it's crazy. People can question this ship all
day long. It's totally fine, but I totally believe because
(26:36):
I have proof. Yeah, exactly, because my lived experience, my
lived experience, I've sold homes faster than you can say
realtor dot com because of grounding and doing clear work
that we do and clearing and doing the work that
we do. The only thing that held me up this
Lasco and name that we sold it one day is
that I had to get my dad to stop, you know,
(26:57):
pacing up. But I did. Yeah, exactly right, exactly right. Well, listen.
I hope that these little stories just you know, help
people believe even more and know that it's magic every
time we turn around, even when terrible things are happening
in the world. Um, but just to know that, you know,
magic is always there for us, and just pay attention
(27:19):
to it because it's there, and and giggle and heaven
and raise your vibe and trust the process that's right
and do your laundry. There's that. Thank you, my al

with everything on the other side. Yes we are, because
(00:21):
once you learn to navigate the energetic, or to some
the invisible world, life is going to be more fun
and much more serene. Heck, yes it can, because, let's
be honest, brand Earth school is hard. In fact, you
taught me that let's crush Earth School together. Well, hello,
(00:44):
my Witchy of Pooh. You have lots of flowers behind
you because it was your day of birth that we
all celebrated. It's my solar return. Thank you, indeed, thank you,
my dear alf. Did you have a cake? No? No cake?
(01:04):
What is wrong with you? The only reason to have
a birthday's cake? I mean, that's the only reason to
suffer through another year, is you get cake or pie,
whatever you choose. I guess I sailed, so we'll have to.
We'll have to accommodate that requirement. This week. I will
make an adjustment. You should, you should, I'm sure I
(01:27):
had something Sally like what salary macaroons? Sally say, macaroons.
Oh so you do the macaroona bullet puns today? Yes, yes, indeed,
So what do you have you keeping me in suspense?
(01:47):
Oh about this? About this episode? This is this is
clearly an ELFs it is. It is following your lead
as always. Yeah, no, we're calling it the laundry which
and not the laundry maiden, because that's actually Suzanne calls
yourself the laundry maiden. She doesn't allow me to do
(02:08):
laundry or ever send it out to do laundry because
she does it her specific way and oh very much so.
And our laundry, by the way, is like divine and
so it's not the laundry made. It's the laundry which
which we're gonna which which is the sandwich place. Um
that they did not pass for that. But we will
(02:29):
get to the laundry which here in a minute. But
I kind of want to tell everybody what's happening. Like
we're in Santa Fe now, it's very exciting. We're in
a rental house, yes we are, this is yeah, yeah,
we actually rented a place catty corner from where the
house is that we bought our fixer upper across the street.
(02:54):
Oh yeah, we do, brilliant. I go over there all
the time. I do. Yeah. It's well, they're gutting, they're
gutting demolition there. Yeah. And if anybody watches my Instagram,
I've been posting pictures of the gemstone slabs that we
will be integrating into our home that we are claiming
has like a theme of kind of spirituality New Mexico
(03:17):
to it. It's gonna be amazing. Is that redundant? Maybe
with something? Um? So we are in the midst of
doing all of that. It's been chaos, um, but it's
been great, but chaotically great. It's a move that part sucked,
asked um. But it's you know, you just have to
(03:40):
deal with things. Our movers damaged a lot of our
most of our art. Actually, it's so sad, right, not okay,
It's like the universe is working against us when it
came to art. So we're taking it as a message
to replenish. You live in Santa Fe, now, I mean,
there's not a better place on the I to replace
(04:00):
art exactly exactly. We got okay with it after I
had a meltdown when they were taking stuff off the truck.
It was really not pretty. I'm not a crier and
I don't shake. I'm not even much of a yeller.
Nor do I kick plastic buckets. I did all four.
I was thinking inside out. Yeah that's okay. It was
(04:26):
as long as you didn't like kick plastic buckets at someone.
No no, no no no no no no. Yeah. I
gotta process emotion like it's and it was shaking. I
don't shake. I was so angry. I was shaking. It
was my ancient Tibetan drum that they so poorly handled
and broke. Actually, so you know, dealing like interesting. We
(04:48):
could have a whole conversation about this, but this is
the laundry Which episode. But it is really about you know, um,
accepting what happened and grieving and because something things aren't
just thin, you know. People like to say that, but
they're not. They hold energy like this Tibetan drum, like
what it held is spectacular and um an artist, like
(05:09):
an original painting that they absolutely destroyed, held the energy
of this like brilliant artist and the piece was called
the Light within Um. And so it's just things like
that that are kind of devastating, but can't do anything
about it. Now learned from I guess experiences by never
hiring these ship holes again. But um, so that happened, yes,
(05:31):
and it's it's part of moving. You're releasing a lot
and you grieving and we done a couple episodes on that,
and it's just one more layer. Um it's very personal
and very deep. And yeah, well, at least they didn't
break my mom's raspberry jam frozen raspberry jam. I went
ahead and took care of that myself. Somebody on Instagram
(05:52):
asked me if I ate it, and I'm like, nope,
sure didn't because I think it like thought then ref
it's I don't think it was edible, but I do
appreciate somebody asking me the question. Yeah, really sweet. And
then I got I know, are they are awesome? And
then I got news this morning that um one of
(06:14):
one of my favorite people on the planet who taught
foreign language at my high school. Really it was Spanish.
I think she taught French, but you know, it's Oklahoma.
I didn't think they knew what French was, so and
I didn't, so I'm not blaming in other people. But anyway,
Cabo is her nickname. Cabomanum is really sick with She
(06:36):
contracted bacterial meningitis on a cruise and she is in
the hospital in Maine, and so I've been doing just
a lot of love work on her. She is a
deacon at the church where I grew up, at the
Piscopal Church. She's a very much a woman of faith.
But you know, there's a lot of us are talking
today and trying to hold space for Cabo for whatever
(06:58):
her journey turns into, be right, And it's nice that
she has the support of the group, but that you
have each other to support each other in this because
it's it's stressful, right, It's that's a very stressful thing
to be so far away from someone you care about
when they're hurting. Yeah, it is. And you know it's interesting.
(07:19):
Will I promise we'll get to the laundry, which soon,
But I just wanted to share because this truly just
happened like a couple of hours ago. Um. It's funny
because I was thinking kind of reflecting because I've I've
seen her a lot in the last few years because
it wasn't far from where we lived in Arkansas, and
and last time I saw her was a few months ago,
(07:40):
and I took the opportunity to pull her aside. And
I don't know what drove me. Maybe I do no,
but something drove me and inspired me to be really
open and honest and vulnerable and thank her for how
she was with all of us and how caring and
(08:01):
how giving she was, and um and and and I
said way more and more I think poetic than what
I just did. And it's a very vulnerable place to
say that to another adult, right, Like, we just don't
typically do that kind of stuff. And I was just
so moved to do it, and I'm so glad I did.
So I just shout out to if anybody has that,
(08:22):
you know, that that drive to tell somebody how they
really feel and how grateful that they are for them
and give them the details on why. I encourage you
to do it, because you never know what life is
going to throw your really, you really don't. And if
you don't have the drive, you know, like that instant
instinct that hit to do it, but you feel it,
(08:47):
then push yourself to express it. And it doesn't have
to be verbal because sometimes in person like that's just
too intense or too hard, but it can be in writing.
You can send them a voice memo, you know, something
like that, like let be creative and spacious with how
you you know, push yourself to express the feeling. But
you will never regret it. No, I never have, and
(09:10):
I have actually, and I know I've told the story
of Dr Cindy Ray when she sat me down because
she was so compelled to tell me on and I
mean this was like twenty plus years after it had
twenty five years or whatever long it was after the
moment had happened to tell me, like when our friends
(09:31):
Christie had died in a car accident in high school.
And I just sat there and held her hand and
held space for her to know that's what I was doing.
And um, she said, because of that experience, she was
a better doctor and she needed me to know that, right,
And so I have. I take every opportunity I can
to tell people how important that they really are, because
you never know if you'll ever have that chance. And
(09:55):
he's never wasted. It's never ever wasted, even if you
have twenty more times, right, even if you still not wasted,
never wasted every Yeah. So so anyway, that's a very
long lead in to the laundry, which not laundry Maiden.
She would take a little break and come back and
(10:17):
actually talk about the topic we set out to do today.
We're just something new and different. Yeah, let's do that.
We'll be right back and welcome back to my ELF episode.
(10:37):
I don't know what I'm welcoming you back to. It
wasn't the funny thing. It's not even really mine either,
because um, I will actually give everybody a little bit
of background. Um, this story came from um a friend
of mine, Mel, And actually, if those that listened to
her the reading you did for Mel, you've actually all
met Mel as well. And mel Is I said her
(10:58):
name like ten times and like any seconds. That was weird.
It's so short, it's easy to say it's a Melanie,
but Melo is so fast. But um, Mel actually married
a very good friend of mine who I played golf
with at ou we're on the golf team together, and
so I got to know Mel through Audre. And Mel
has like a whole lot of like She's just so
(11:23):
capable spiritually, like and she really is working hard to
tap into those even even stronger and so she you know,
she and I talked. I don't let's call it once
twice a week and we'll share like psychic stories with
each other events that have happened. She called me the
other day about a very dear friend of hers in Springfield.
(11:43):
You know, there's a lot of Springfield, so I can
stay Springfield. You guys ever watched the Simpsons, You know
how many Springfields there are in the United States. But
I always bring it back to Hollywood are night and
so so Mel called and was telling me about one
of her her friends in in the local music industry
there um that had just passed on. They just jumped,
and she was on her way to the funeral, and
(12:05):
she goes, can you get do you have anything? Can
you tell me anything? Because you know how hard it
is when it's your own life right to actually see
and she's grieving and all those things. So she reached
out right, So like, kudos for that. And funny enough,
was walking suky because that's what I do every morning,
and I'm walking by the Episcopal Church. Didn't I just
(12:28):
bring up the Episcopal Church because I say Cabo was
a deac of the Piscopal Church. I was walking past
the Episcopal Church when she called me and said, I
just lost my friend, so on and so forth. Do
you have anything, can you help me? Kind of thing?
And so I did a couple like close my eyes
for a second. I mean, I stopped walking for the record.
I didn't want to run into anything, and so I
(12:50):
closed my eyes and I said, so his name is Sam,
and I described what I thought he looked like. She
was that's him, That's exactly him. And I was like, okay, girl, um,
I said, all I'm getting from him right now is
because he was newly like jumped right like. This isn't
like newly had had happened, right, And so I said,
(13:13):
I described what he looked like, and I said, so
this is what I was getting from him. Is at
the service she was going to, or someone actually with
jet black hair was going to approach her and needed
her comfort. I said, I don't know who this is.
It looks like a woman. I have no idea. I say, girl, like,
I'm walking my dog and this is the best a
(13:35):
girl can do walking her dog. And so she's like, okay, great,
thank you, so on and so forth, and she makes
her way to the service. Later that day she calls
and she goes, do you want to know who the
jet black headed woman was and I'm like sure, and
so she shares it with me, and it's exactly what
he showed me. It was there was this woman that
(13:59):
needed comfort and needed it actually from Mel, because you know,
she's a very loving, very like um uh touch you know,
love language touch kind of person and affectionate, right, and
when we struggle a lot of times we need that
um And so she was, you know, she was all
there for it. So these are the kind of conversations
(14:19):
that Mel and I have on an ongoing basis. So
she called me yesterday and told me about a friend
of hers that moved to a small town outside of Minneapolis, Minnesota.
And she had said to Mel, she goes, I am
really afraid to go downstairs in the basement. That's where
the laundry facilities are. So here we goes to the
(14:41):
laundry a wind up. That's a wind up, that is right.
And so she's like, I'm in this place, I'm afraid
to go down there. I'm afraid there's something there. I
don't know what it is, but I don't want to
go do my laundry and I have no clean clothes.
Of course, I would have said, take your ship out
and have a laundry. Um So it was awesome. Though
(15:05):
there are many ways around this, but go ahead anyways,
Like if I were on my own, I probably would
never do laundry because I suck at it, um, not
because I think there's a laundry witch. Um So. So
Mel like does her like tap in thing, and her
friend also has some abilities, and her friend was like,
I feel like it's a witch and I'm just scared
(15:27):
to go down there and I don't know what it
is and who it is. And they do this whole
thing where like Mel looks up who owned the house
or who built the house, so she gets the name.
She's doing research, she's like trying to figure stuff out,
and then she says to her she goes, I think
that whether it's a witch or not a witch, I
(15:48):
just think this person wants you to give them, like
acknowledge them. And at that moment, the dryer went on.
They continue to talk about on it, and then every
time they refer to her, the dryer goes on. It
happened four different times. That's so awesome. Isn't that great? Right?
(16:13):
Because it's electronic and and it's it's spirit right, so
it can manipulate electronics very easily. That's so, isn't that awesome?
The laundry which and so I'm not sure if she
went down there and they were like, don't have a
conclusionive she actually did her laundry. I don't think that's
the point of the story. But I'm just letting those
that want to know that it's dangling out there for
(16:34):
me too. So we'll eventually figure it out and give
a report if the laundry which really was and didn't
let her do laundry. But isn't that fun? That's so fun.
That's so fun. And like, look, if she's turning or
he or she is turning off and on the dryer, right,
they want to play. They want to play now, as
(16:54):
long as you know it's not a dark force and
you know everything else you have going on. But we'd
love to hear from our audience like stories where y'all
had lights at flash or every time I did this,
you know something happened, because those are always really they're affirming,
they're playful. Usually okay after the I don't freaks you
out a couple of times in the beginning, but then
you get all right, But then you get used to it,
(17:17):
and it's kind of it's kind of a fun way
to play. And if you guys said the story and
I get it, I will embellish it for you're nice.
I will make it far more dramatic than it probably
really was, because that's called good storytelling. But when it
comes to you to the other side, I actually don't
need to embellish tell you the dream because it's so fun.
(17:38):
They do it on their own. Yeah, you know, like, uh,
I remember when um, and I called you because I
called you about everything, but it was when it's because
the stories in my book, but it was when the
pendulum was my pendulum was moving on its own in
our bathroom. And to freak Suzanne out right, it can
(17:58):
be scary and I'm a bad ask and I was
like yeah, and then I like went right into like
you know, the evil Ghosts, ghost Layer Julie. But um,
it was scary. It can be scary as hell, especially
when you're not expecting it. Yeah, right anymore, not so much.
(18:19):
In fact of a couple more little stories when we
come right back. Look at that I called a break,
and we're back for our next installment by Elie Embellished right, this.
(18:40):
This is an embellished This has nothing to do with
laundry or witches. But I just want to be there.
I know, right, this is a super practical story. So
Susanne and I have a landlord now or time, and
it's actually a landlady, so it's a land lords land goddess.
(19:04):
She's a land goddess um and we adore her. And
so when we were packing up to to move out,
and uh, I packed a clearing bowl for her, thank
you for letting us live here, which I know that
sounds strange, but it's not strange if you know how
hard it is to rent a place in a city
like Santa Fe, especially catty corner from the house you bought.
(19:25):
So I, you know, packed up this clearing bowl to
give her as a gift. And then I had some
of my own personal pieces of black turmaline. So it
was crazy. This was just again the other day. So
she comes over, it's raining out, it's kind of late,
it's cold, and I said, oh wait, can you hold
on a second. We have your gift. We finally finally
(19:47):
found it. And so she gets it and unpacks it
in the rain, you know, like all excited, like what
is this, And we talked about it in the rain,
and the next day I see her and she's like, Julie,
I'm like hey, and I literally and she said, she goes,
(20:07):
I cannot thank you enough for that thoughtful gift. I said, oh,
I'm so glad you like it. She was, no, no, no,
I don't just like it. She goes that black termline
and she kind of like paused, like black term like
she was trying to say it right. I mean, I said,
the black termline. She was, yeah, what is that stuff?
(20:28):
And she said, um, she was when you gave that
to me. I had just had this experience where my
hand was shaking, but it wasn't shaking, meaning she felt right,
how do you describe that ring, because I'm sure you
felt that before. Oh gosh, yeah, it's like an energetic
You enter the field and it's again it's back to
the electrical aspect. It's the energetic aspect of something. So
(20:52):
it's there's a buzziness that happens even though your hand
isn't visibly shaking. Everything in a nervous system is ignited.
So she has that, and she's also the one that
cannot ride in electric vehicles because you're sitting on a battery. Yeah.
And she gets out and she goes, I don't drink coffee,
but I feel like I've had six cups of coffee
(21:16):
when I get out. And so she said to me,
she said, I was just She goes, my hand was
doing this weird kind of buzzing thing. She goes, and I, hell,
I grabbed a piece of that black termaline. She goes,
and it stopped. She goes, it stopped. She goes, What
in the world is this? And I'm like, girl, I
(21:36):
wish I could explain. All I can tell you is
that it comes from you know, the foothills of the
Himalayans outside of you know, Catman do and nepoul I go,
I got nutingails for you. Other than it's magic, it does.
I mean, I don't know how else to explain it.
It's like, but it's it's for highly sensitive people because
(21:57):
you know, I started working with black termaline because of
sleep paralysis. Um and it has just which is having
one of its many superpowers rights exactly. It's there's not
one person that still struggles with it when they put
(22:17):
it on their bedside table or underneath their bed wherever
they choose to put it not one I've heard, but
I've heard from now. If you it doesn't work for you,
like give me a holler. But so far I think
it's bad. It's not me. It is batting a thousand.
But I keep finding these other uses. Now. I keep
find like if you're over stimulated, that it will. I
think it must absorb. It's ground. It's very grounding, it's
(22:39):
very but I think it absorbs that, right, and that
it's so it transmuts it. Maybe it's transat trans meats,
so it's um. It's like if you if you do
twists in yoga, if you're cold, they will heat you up.
If you're hot, they will cool you down. So that's
what it's like. Yeah, really yeah, So it's like that,
(23:02):
like if it's if you if you have too much,
it will um, it'll calm you down. If you if
you're like heavy and burdened, it will ground you so
that you can access your own energy again and bring
you back online. Does that make sense? It makes the
total sense. And you say it's so much better than
(23:22):
I do. It's all good, it's all good. Every time
I explained something, I threw a ship damn or fucking
there is always always more than mine. But the truth
is just use it, like just grab it and use
it when you don't know what to grab, grab that
and and let it. Let it work with you, like
find your own experience in your own ways. But this,
(23:42):
this is such a workhorse. Is such a workhorse, totally workhorse. Yeah. Yeah,
and she's like, this is changing my life. She's I'm
so calm. I don't have that irritation. I think it's
also when she holds the cell phone is another thing.
I think she's like the battery. I don't know, there's
something about that charge like really gets her going. Yeah,
(24:03):
then she should always carry black Tonelin right, should Yeah,
because she has plenty now yeah, no doubt from from
her rentee. Nice. So this had little to do with
the kitchen which I'm not kitchen, which laundry which I
want to now, oh my god, now we're gonna have
a kitchen which show up? But is this is a
(24:25):
little bit of sharing and caring today. But I thought
the laundry which story is really wild, just because the
dryer would go on every time, right, It's I love
that those stories are just magic. And then I just
thought sharing a little bit more about black Tomaline be
good too. Always always black Tonnel always and you know,
it's no different than you know, like the travel ghost
shows that they have in the Travel Channel where they
(24:47):
sit in the dark room and they're like you are
you here and they wait for their lights to flash
and things like that, Like you don't need all that.
You don't have to stay up in the middle of
the night to do it. You can just do it
in daylight. Hey are you the lawn? Which that is
so hilarious that you said that, because I was meeting
with our architect over at our new house and his
name is chev and Um and I love this guy.
(25:10):
He's great. And he was like, you know, do you
feel any ghost here? Do you know, do you need sage?
I went, no, Darling, I don't need sage. I'm like,
that is to make you feel better, not me. He
starts cracking up and he's like, well, what do you do?
Is there with this whole long conversation about you can
(25:31):
do You can take care of your business seven and
you don't have to have all the couturement stage is great,
don't get me wrong, and they serves the purpose absolutely,
but you don't have to have it. Like if somebody
is dealing with something, they don't have to wait to
get sage. I actually had a conversation this week with
someone who was saying blah blah bow something I had
read for a while ago. I was asking about how
(25:53):
she was asking my friend about clearing and saging in
what she has going on. I'm like, with what she
the activity she has going on, and it's only in
one room, of it's only in her bedroom, and she
just needs black tarnaline just you know, put put in
the four corners of the room. Done. Like, I mean,
she can say there's no problems with that, but she
just needs the room to be grounded, so she needs
(26:14):
to black ternlines boom done, exactly right. That's what we
did to that house in Sherman Oaks where I went
and gritted that whole thing. And when Susanne and I
disconnected our cords from that place, that sold in twelve hours. Yeah,
I mean, it's crazy. People can question this ship all
day long. It's totally fine, but I totally believe because
(26:36):
I have proof. Yeah, exactly, because my lived experience, my
lived experience, I've sold homes faster than you can say
realtor dot com because of grounding and doing clear work
that we do and clearing and doing the work that
we do. The only thing that held me up this
Lasco and name that we sold it one day is
that I had to get my dad to stop, you know,
(26:57):
pacing up. But I did. Yeah, exactly right, exactly right. Well, listen.
I hope that these little stories just you know, help
people believe even more and know that it's magic every
time we turn around, even when terrible things are happening
in the world. Um, but just to know that, you know,
magic is always there for us, and just pay attention
(27:19):
to it because it's there, and and giggle and heaven
and raise your vibe and trust the process that's right
and do your laundry. There's that. Thank you, my al
